I hate the argument abt when you say customizable games should have fat people and people say "well it would be harder to model or scale clothes to fit" cause like i guess youre technically right, but why then are fat people not seen as worth the effort to actually code and model these things? Someone else said this abt baldur's gate but they said "in an RPG like that game shouldn't the priority be on allowing people to express themselves as much as possible with designing their character?" Also like fat people aren't a rarity or minority, even if all media ever wants to give people the impression that the world is 99% skinny people with maybe one or two fat villains or sidekick friends.

Technicallyyyyy it's Thursday (12:28 AM!), but @brynnmclean tagged me in WIP Wednesday (thank you!!!) and I dutifully worked on some other projects before giving up and following my heart.

And what my heart wanted was ... well. Okay. Look, I know, I know, but nobody can be that surprised:

S’paak had no way of knowing which Starfleet officer would receive command of the Enterprise after Captain Pike’s promotion, if promotion it could be called. It must be called that, of course, by the wish of Captain Pike himself, and by what all evidence suggested was a collective agreement from the highest ranks of the service. Therefore, the captain was promoted, and soon she would answer to a different man. She had no data to aid speculation as to the nature, character, or identity of the person who would replace Captain Pike, since nobody in the crew, including S’paak, was privy to their superiors’ deliberations. Accordingly, she did not join the other crew members in guesswork about their new captain, even in the privacy of her own quarters—or her own mind. After all, to a disciplined intellect, there was little difference between the two, and she did not know who was even under consideration. Contemplating the matter would not produce greater knowledge. Even with no particular expectations or thoughts about the forthcoming captain of the Enterprise, she felt an unfamiliar trace of surprise when she received the actual notification about it. She, S’paak, would be first officer on the ship, and as such, had been granted priority status with regard to any personnel changes. No one else on the crew yet knew the name of the chosen captain. The privileges of seniority did not startle her. The identity of her captain did, a little.

S’paak considered the notification a second time.

Commanding officer of the USS Enterprise: Kirk, Jessica T. (Cpt).

She knew virtually nothing of Captain Kirk, though the name sounded faintly familiar, enough that she thought it likely that she had heard it in some context in the past that had not struck her as worth committing to memory. A regrettable lapse, if easy enough to rectify with the many tools available to her. But S'paak had not expected that Starfleet would appoint a woman to Captain Pike’s position. Certainly not a young woman, as the (small and poor-quality) picture accompanying the name suggested Kirk was.

S’paak herself was not so illogical as to suppose that gender impeded a Starfleet officer’s capabilities in themselves. But she had better reason than most to know that the practices of the Federation did not always resemble their ideals as closely as might be wished. Captain Kirk must have some unusual qualities, experiences, or connections—or some combination thereof—to rise so far at such an age.

“Fascinating,” S’paak murmured.

Why does it seem that practically every where prioritizes having vegetarian options over gluten free ones, and so many restaurants or whatever will say they have something gluten free and then tell you that it’s all made with the same equipment and on the same surfaces which means it’s not actually gluten free. Idk I just feel like if you don’t eat meat and there are no vegetarian main dishes at a restaurant that sucks, but you can still get something else off the menu, but in the case that they can’t prevent cross contamination with gluten I literally can’t eat anything. I just wish it was as easy to go out to a restaurant and get something gluten free as it is to get something vegetarian

honestly I get ppl being like "aughhh I regret getting my autism diagnosis" esp in light of recent events but I'm gonna say for the record if I didn't have my diagnosis I would likely be in a much worse place, or not even alive at all. getting diagnosed was extremely important for my ability to live freely and it is a necessity for a significant enough portion of people. I support self Dx and believe it should be a choice but I think that its important to note that for a lot of people it isn't. to get or not to get a Dx for autism is a very nuanced topic

Returning to @galladrabbles for "You never asked" - something silly for the dash.

"Never have I ever…been to jail."

"Oh fuck you." Mickey picked up his drink and took a swig while the youngest Gallagher grinned in victory. But Mickey’s revenge was swift.

"Never have I ever gotten an A on a school project."

"I will PROUDLY take a sip." Liam tilted his coke up.

A newly returned Mandy grinned, "Never have I ever slept with a chick."

Mickey took a sip, Lip, Debbie -

"Ian?!" Mickey stared at his husband in shock. No way, no fuckin' way!

Ian grimaced, "You never asked."

"He's got PTSD - pussy traumatic stress disorder!" Everyone, even Ian, laughed.

i don't know if i believe anyone can actually be both a dog person and a cat person simultaneously since that is ultimately a lifestyle question. i think most people who claim both are cat people who like dogs

I didn't choose to accept that my body has limitations and I didn't choose to develop work/life balance and I didn't choose to start taking sick time and rest more often, those things were forced upon me by my disabilities. I have grown to accept and embrace them so that I am in less pain.
